What Love Is

By Miles Patrick Yohnke

Dedicated to the memory and legacy of Mr. Robert Genn and the life of Sara Genn, as she continues to carry forward the torch lit by her father.


It ends,

Like it begins,

With an open heart.


One enters this world. This life.


No sticks or stones,

Nor broken bones,

Lullaby songs,

Sung from tender hearts.


One's eyes now see this world.

As it really is.

As it appears.

As it fades.

As it can last.


To be shown,

An unwavering generosity.

This strength of character, shines through.


Euphoria is found.

Found in thy four seasons.


Afraid.

Of everything,

And nothing,

But now not inhibited.


This feeling, it releases you.


A friend,

With hand in air.

Love thy neighbour,

Set your example.


Words you regret, telling,

So too does this feeling create.


Memories never fade.

Time stands still,

And that you need.

More.


It ends,

Like it begins.

An unbroken circle,

A transparent body,

Thy spirit.


Buried in ground,

That always remembers you.
